Traditions

Richard Keller was a four-year letter winner for the Kings Point
track team from 1964-1867, establishing six academy records
throughout the course of his career. In only his freshman
season, Keller was the Long Island Collegiate Champion in the 100
yard dash, 220 yard dash, one mile run, and a member of the 440
yard relay team. In 1965 Keller repeated as a four-time
winner in the Long Island Collegiate Championships, he captured the
silver and bronze medal in the NCAA Regional Championships in the
long and triple-jump events. He broke Kings Point records in
the 440 relay, the one mile run, the 440 yard dash, long jump, and
triple jump.

As a junior, Keller established new school records in the 100
yard dash and the 440 yard dash while earning silver medals in the
NCAA Regional Championships in both the 100 and 200 yard
dashes. After a great indoor season in his senior year,
Keller never had the chance to compete in the spring season because
the Class of ’67 graduated in February due to the War in
Vietnam. Keller did compete as an amateur for the next five
season, earning medals at different national competitions.
